[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] B/c we know our kid will never be truly bilingual by having once/twice a wk classes. DH and I are bilingual through immersion - by living in the countries while we were children. English is my second language while it is DH's native language. DC will not get enough practice and would not be literate just speaking a language at home to a parent.[/quote] Not true. I speak German to DC and wife speaks another language. We speak English amongst ourselves. Aiming for trilingual. Gotta stick to one parent, one language though. Otherwise they get too confused. From what I am reading, success of immersion if parents don't speak the language is mixed at best. Therefore we are not considering it. Deutsche Schule in Potomac would be nice but it is a hike for us. Maybe a charter school will offer German in the future. Slim chance of that I guess.[/quote]
